Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Diet & Fitness / Daily Fitness Tips Archive Stand Tall, Slim Down JORGE’S DAILY FIT TIP By Cruise, LifeScript Fitness Coach Thursday, April 3, 2008 Here’s the fastest trick I know to instantly look 10 pounds lighter: Stand up straight! Posture is one of the most overlooked, yet most important, aspects of our appearance. Hunching over not only makes you look heavier, but it also makes you feel heavier! Sit up straight, and you’ll feel energized and look more confident. Good posture will also ease tension in your back and neck. If you’re a chronic sloucher, here are three easy tricks you can use as daily reminders to keep your posture in check: 1. Hang a mirror by your desk. Carefully position it so you can’t see your reflection unless you are slumped forward in bad posture. As soon as you spot yourself in the mirror, straighten up! 2. Stick a piece of brightly colored tape or strip of paper at the level your eyes should be if you’re sitting up straight. Whenever you notice the tape, make sure you’re in line with it. 3. Every time you stand up, picture your body parts as blocks that need to be stacked just so to create a long, lean silhouette. Your spinal vertebrae should stack in a straight line, and your ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles should all fall into alignment. Standing and walking tall will not only make you look better, but also make you feel more attractive and sure of yourself.
